ABSTRACT
Our paper focuses on examination and determination of bioindicators. From their existence, condition
or behavior judgments might be carried out on the existence of specific environmental indicators and on environmental
conditions and changes. The goal of this study was to investigate if and how plants may be used to
indicate some of the emissions of landfill sites. Sampling was carried out in the middle of April 2007, 2008,
and 2009. The obtained data were compared with a simple floristic list prepared in 1995. Selected bioindicators
were used to estimate impact of the landfill on the close vicinity.
